Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
| PGR | Chemical nature | |
| 1. | Auxins | Indole compounds |
| 2. | Cytokinin | Pyrimidine derivatives |
| 3. | ABA | Carotenoid derivative |
| 4. | Gibberellic acid | Terpenes |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
| Scientist | PGR discovery | |
| 1. | Cousins | Ethylene |

Kinetin was first discovered from:
| 1. | Herring sperm DNA | 2. | Coconut milk |
| 3. | Yeast extract | 4. | Corn kernels |
Cytokinins do not help in:
| 1. | Production of new leaves |
| 2. | Lateral shoot growth |
| 3. | Adventitious shoot formation |
| 4. | Promotion of apical dominance |
Cytokinins help in delay of leaf senescence because they:
| 1. | Promote new leaves formation |
| 2. | Help overcome apical dominance |
| 3. | Help in chloroplast formation in leaves |
| 4. | Promote nutrient mobilization |
Match the following :
| A. | IAA | i. | Herring sperm DNA |
| B. | ABA | ii. | Bolting |
| C. | Ethylene | iii. | Stomatal closure |
| D. | GA | iv. | Weed-free lawns |
| E. | Cytokinins | v. | Ripening of fruits |
Options:
| A | B | C | D | E | |
| 1. | iv | iii | v | ii | i |
| 2. | v | iii | iv | ii | i |
| 3. | iv | i | v | iii | ii |
| 4. | v | iii | ii | i | iv |
| 1. | They were discovered as kinetin, a modified form of adenine. |
| 2. | Zeatin was isolated from corn-kernels and coconut milk. |
| 3. | Kinetin occurs widely in almost all plants. |
| 4. | Natural cytokinins are synthesized in region where rapid cell division occurs. |
| I: | Help produce new leaves, chloroplasts in leaves, lateral shoot growth and adventitious root formation. |
| II: | Help overcome the apical dominance. |
| III: | Promote nutrient mobilisation, which helps in the delay of leaf senescence. |
| 1. Only I and II | 2. Only I and III |
| 3. Only II and III | 4. I, II and III |
